Bob Raudman. Don't know if he was in Minor League Camp with the Pilots or not He was Acquired from Indianapolis outright from the Reds in late 1968. so I considered him being a Pilot. So here is three custom cards of him. Here is the correct name
Randy Bobb even though he was not a Pilots but played in their system in 1970 with Portland

That's catcher Randy Bobb, not Shorty Raudman. You're not the initiator of the error; errors like this haunt the internets for eternity, unfortunately. EDIT: Didn't notice this about your customs before just now, but Shorty Raudman was an outfielder, not a pitcher.

And, no, Raudman was never in camp with the Pilots. Beaned in the head by a 90mph fastball in 1967, he left the game after the 1968 season. As he'd once been a promising prospect, the Pilots bought his rights in the hope he might change his mind, even though he was pretty much a disaster in the minors in '68. Instead, he went into cross country motorcycle racing. He later suffered from dementia, spending time in jail and in mental health facilities.

Thank you for the compliment. The forehead is pieced together. Tried to use gimp. Had trouble with it. The cap and forehead is pieced together by normal Photoshop. The Burgos is going to be a challange. Used the Marshall 1969 topps custom for the Hansen. Maybe I'll actually get good at this one of these days. (LOL).

My friend Zappa is working very hard on polishing his colorizing skills as well. You've seen his good work here previously. Here are two he did for me I have to show off.

Willard Hunter was a one-game Dodger in 1962 when he wasn't part of being an original Met. He was sent to New York on May 26 as the PTBNL in the Charlie Neal-for-Lee Walls deal that was made in December. This also why there are no legit Walls photos with the Mets.



I guess there are quite likely color Dave Philley Red Sox photos around; he ended his 18-year career by playing 38 games for Boston, but he wasn't acquired until the end of spring training (March 24, for Tom Borland) and was released on August 14.
